Playoff GDT | Game #3 | at Bell Centre | Sunday, 5/10/26 7:00 PM EST

[Rolex]

That was also one of the rare time this off season he was directly in front of the net, just like his 48th and 49th goals of the season in New York.

In fact both his goals this off-season have been from directly in front of the net. That’s what he needs to do instead of staying off of the side, looking for one timers.

He cannot be in front of the net....that's not his game....and he'll get crushed there.

He just needs to adapt his game to the playoffs along the boards (like Hutson has been able to do). He doesn't have the luxury of just being able to go into the corners without looking twice (like Slaf and Andy can because of their big frames)...he'll get there....very encouraged by his last 2 games

Not saying he needs to live in front of the net. When in doubt go to basics.

Cole has been pretty decent since game 6, they just didn't go in for him, hopefully last night changed that

I think he had like 6 posts since game 6.

Post game interview from bench you could tell how relieved he was.

yeah and he never misses one like he did before he scores, the piano might be off his back now

Camera also showed Marty laughing with Cole on the bench, while Jackeye was delivering the punch that got him the fine....lol

At least he's getting looks now, first five games he was not even having scoring chances.

Ya. Cole's been playing much better offensively lately. They will start going in.
